Hey all, I just found out about EC about a week ago and have been doing some reading and watching the media associated. I see this takes a different approach than Warhammer Online, shifting to the Space Marine type of gameplay. My question if anyone has the answer: Is there going to be free roam in world or are we just queuing for death matches via a multiplayer screen? I'm just trying to get all my info before I buy a Founder's Pack. I appreciate the help!
The goal is an open-world MMORPG. As a stepping-stone, there will be a 32-player Deathmatch-mode during Beta.
yes pvp open world with different continent very huge limit (teorically) in the number of players in a map. pve is instanced 5-10 players content. so the reverse of other MMO
Yeah, watched some. A lot of over the shoulder shooting for about 6 seconds. Appreciate it though. To everyone else, thank you for the replies. =D
@KFish Try this video of something close to 30:00 minutes of gameplay.. It should give you a better idea of what the game is as that's pre-alpha footage of a very small engagement. I'd like to think of it as a bigger version of Planetside - as the Devs want a single server with battles raging in the thousands. Currently the Tyranids are entirely PvE in instanced underhives that can creep into each player controlled factions (the Orks, SM, CSM, and Eldar's) territory and take over bases. What the Devs would like to accomplish using some pretty bad ass technology is have the Tyranids above ground and each faction fighting an open world war over the course of a campaign, with the intention of having a winner for the campaign - and then moving on to a new campaign to fight over again. All this, plus elements of RPG customization and horizontal progression will make a pretty epic experience indeed. And what I mean by horizontal progression is that a Free to Play Ork Boy will be the equal to a SM in terms of power and health as they are in the lore, but a level 41(random number) SM will have many more tactical options to engage a level 1 Ork Boy than the Ork will have against the SM.
